Photographers were finally able to snap a few pictures of Hugh Jackman on the Tokyo set of James Mangold's The Wolverine. Hit the jump to find out what type of scene the actor was filming at the Zojoji Temple.

According to reports that I have translated, the scene being filmed at the Buddhist temple, was a funeral. A grand funeral no less. Today was the last day of filming at the temple, and the crew is expected to head to Hiroshima next.

Another photo has surfaced from yesterday's filming of The Wolverine, that took place at the Zojoji Temple. This time it features our first look at Rila in her Yukio costume, and with an unexpected coloring of red in her hair.

Rila has the honor of playing, in my opinion, the best role in the film. Yukio is a blood-thirsty assassin that is ordered to kill Logan/Wolverine, but soon develops a crush on him when she witnesses his exceptional killing prowess. She is one of the two love interests in Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's "Japanese Saga," with Mariko being the other.

Mariko is frightened by Logan's brutality, while Yukio smiles with glee as Wolverine slices though his enemies. The two love interests represent paths that Logan must choose. With Yukio the path is easy, he is already the man/animal that she loves. The more savage he becomes, the more excited she becomes. However the path to Mariko's heart may be more difficult, but it will lead Logan on a journey of self-control and honor, which deep down is what he truly wants.

First Look At ‘Mariko Yashida’ On THE WOLVERINE Set In Japan; Hugh Jackman Returns

After filming scenes involving a funeral yesterday at a Buddhist temple in Japan, The Wolverine production has now moved to the [frick]uyama Station in Hiroshima. In photos via various onlookers, the star Hugh Jackman is seen once again sporting the funeral garb from yesterday. However, this time he's alongside model/actress Tao Okamoto, who's playing Silver Samura's half-sister, Mariko Yashida. While nothing too significant, check it out!

Multiple eyewitnesses have reported seeing Naoya Ogawa on the set of Hugh Jackman's The Wolverine. He holds a record of seven medals at the World Judo Championships and is a two-time National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight champion.nailbiter111 - 9/6/2012

Apparently Naoya Ogawa has joined the cast of James Mangold's The Wolverine. Multiple eyewitnesses have seen him on set filming a scene that involves Hugh Jackman's character, Logan/Wolverine, chasing Naoya through the streets. Since the film is about Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's "Japanese Saga," and the main villains have already been cast, I would assume Naoya Ogawa is playing a member of The Hand. In the comic book Logan/Wolverine is left in the streets after losing a fight and The Hand try to kill him. Of course this doesn't go very well for The Hand.

It'sOn The Grid have posted a short synopsis for the upcoming Lobo movie, giving us some idea of what we can expect from the story. We also seem to have confirmation that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson willplay the DC anti-hero..

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=66985Will "The Jean Grey School For Higher Learning" Feature In THE WOLVERINE? Spotted in a leaked set photo from The Wolverine, it appears as if "The Jean Grey School For Higher Learning" will play a role in the upcoming prequel. Coincidence or proof that the film will have a connection to Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: Days Of Future Past? Check it out!Josh Wilding - 9/9/2012

X-Men Origins: Wolverine was an epic disappointment. Between the fact that they butchered the origin story of the character and threw in a bunch of mutant cameos which still haunt the nightmares of many a comic book lover ("Deadpool"...) it was not the solo movie that Wolverine deserved. Well, James Mangold's take on the character may just make up for that. A standalone film, it looks set to take Logan to Japan, while classic bad guys such as Viper and Silver Samurai all look set to be introduced. However, The Wolverine may not quite be as "standalone" as we originally thought. The Geek Files have come across the following set photo which seemingly reveals that "The Jean Grey School For Higher Learning" will somehow feature in the film. It could of course be a random easter egg or simple coincidence, but it's not hard to imagine Logan renaming and reopening the school following the deaths of Jean Grey, Charles Xavier and Cyclops in X-Men: The Last Stand.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD Set Photos Reveal Creature-Like Warriors And Jaimie Alexander's SIF

Clearer photos from the Bourne Wood set of Thor: The Dark World have surfaced, as filming commenced earlier today. And featuring an otherworldly battlefield filled with Asgardian warriors taking on a creature-like race known as Marauders, the set photos via Daily Mail notably reveals actress Jamie Alexander's new Sif garb.

We have already seen some great pics, but now check out the first set video from Alan Taylor's Thor: The Dark World, which includes footage of Chris Hemsworth in action and the two opposing armies battling each other as explosions are set off.

Now taking place beyond the eyesight of potential paparazzi, principal photography is still in full swing for Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World. And according to Shepherd Management Limited casting agency, 2 of their notable clients have signed on for the anticipated Alan Taylor-directed sequel. They've announced that British actor Clive Russell & Welsh-American actor Richard Brake have unspecified, but presumably minor, roles in the film.

Clive Russell, 66, has appeared in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes and its 2011 sequel, numerous British television series, and he was recently cast as Ser Brynden Tulley the Blackfish in HBO’s 3rd season of Game of Thrones. Richard Brake, 47, is best known for playing the DC character Joe Chill in Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. And he's also appeared in Hannibal Rising, Water for Elephants, & alongside Ray Stevenson in Outpost.

Other news related to Thor: The Dark World, that’s rather spoilerific, comes from a well-known stuntman who’s currently working on the film. And although it's not too hard to find, I won't name or link the stuntman/actor and where he posted the following, for obvious reasons. But alluding to a scene he was filming for the sequel earlier this month, the post read: (highlight below to read possible spoiler in its entirety)

“Currently running away from a large spaceship as it crash lands into a palace I'm guarding. (as you do!). Can't say anymore than that. Shhhh.”

More news related to the much-anticipated sequel; Fandral actor Zachary Levi recently tweeted a hilarious picture from the Shepperton Studios, where filming is also taking place, alongside Heimdall actor Idris Elba. Teasing his blonde 'do and goatee that he grew out and dyed just for the Dashing role, check out Levi’s Instagram-filtered photo below.

The Wolverine is well under way in production, and after numerous set pictures and videos we have all gotten a good look at Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. Now, thanks to Marvel's own AgentM, we get our first official look at Jackman as Wolvie. The photo features a shirtless Jackman looking full blown Wolverine, claws extended and everything. Check it out below.

THOR: THE DARK WORLD To Shoot Scenes At London's Butlers Wharf And in Greenwich

Seemingly finished with shooting at Bourne Wood, the production of Marvel's anticipated sequel, Thor: The Dark World will soon be showcasing London in a major way, according to filming notices recently distributed. While sequences at both locations will involve aerial shots, among other things, London's Butlers Wharf is on Marvel's radar before Greenwich district. The 1st letter is courtesy of Edvvc, and the 2nd via one of our readers.

I am writing to you to inform you of our plans to film a scene for the forthcoming feature film entitled "Thursday Mourning" at Butlers Wharf on Monday 8th October from 0700 untill 1300.

The scene to be filmed at Butlers Wharf will ultimately form part of a visual effects sequence running through streets of London. We plan to film using specially adapted 2 meter long model helicopter, know as a Heli-Cam, which has a sophisticated camera mounted on the front. The Heli-Cam will start its Journey over the water, in the middle of the dock alongside New Concordia Whard. It will then fly under the footbridge and then turn left towards Tower Bridge, flying close to the handrail opposite Browns restaurant. We may also film a similar scene on the pavement outside the Cantina restaurant.

"Thursday Mourning" is the working title of a major feature film and we are currently working with many iconic locations across central London. One of our key locations in the film is the Old Naval College at Greenwich and we have various scenes to film that involve the Thames at high tide, camera boats, and aerial filming from a helicopter. To achieve this, we have to film before the clocks change, and the tides are right, and this has fallen on Sunday 21st October

We are currently liaising with all the official bodies regarding permissions. To achieve the aerial shots from the Helicopter, we plan so fly from the North Shore (Over Island Gardens), directly south to the South Shore of the Thames, starting at 500ft descending to 100 ft. (Almost exactly where the Cable wire camera was positioned for the Olympic coverage). We are currently discussing our plans with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and a notice to mariners will be issued in due course.

We need to achieve this when the river is quiet from commercial vessels and the tides are right, which means we are proposing to shoot with the helicopter between the hours of 0700 and 1100.

The Helicopter will be in the air for 10-minute intervals through out the morning. As we film, we will need to hold river traffic with PLA river launches, and location security will assist with asking pedestrians and cyclists to wait momentarily on the Thames Path for short periods as the helicopter flies overhead. When the Helicopter is not required it will travel East and land back at a predetermined landing pad.

Fans were shocked yesterday to learn that Jaimie Alexander (@JaimieAlexander) narrowly escaped being paralysed after an accident on the set of Marvel Studios' Thor: The Dark World. Online speculation has led many to come to the conclusion that the beautiful actress may have fallen from a horse, butregardless, she is thankfully in good spirits AND health as can be seen from the Tweets below. It is thought that Sif will have a much larger role in the Alan Taylor helmed sequel and Jaimie will next be seen in January's The Last Stand opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Get well soon!

We've known that Kelly Hu would be featured in The CW's Arrow as China White since San Diego Comic-Con, but other than a few teases from Stephen Amell, we've heard nothing. Now, with the show soon debuting we finally have our first look at how Kelly Hu (X-2) will appear on the show. China White originates from the comic book Green Arrow: Year One, however according to Zap2It, she'll be hired by a criminal by the name of Martin Somers to take out Laurel Lance, as she tries to take him down with the law. Perhaps we'll get our first look at Deadshot soon, as well. China White is expected to appear in Episode 2, presumably airing on October 17th.

Will we see Famke Janssen's 'Jean Grey' in X-Men: Days of Future Past? Well, the actress refuses to reveal anything too concrete, but does tell fans that "one never knows" when it comes to a possible return as the character who met her maker at the hands of Wolverine back in The Last Stand.Josh Wilding - 10/1/2012

Since it was revealed that Matthew Vaughn's sequel to X-Men: First Class would be titled Days of Future Past, speculation has been running rampant that time travel will factor into the film (thereby meaning the return of some, or all, of the cast members from the original trilogy). Patrick Stewart has repeatedly hinted at a possible return as Professor Xavier, despite being killed off in Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand. However, an after-credits scene DID show him waking up in the body of a coma patient. Well, now it's Famke Janssen who seems to be dropping subtle hints about making a return as Jean Grey!

"One never knows," she said coyly in a recent interview with MTV News. "Jean Grey, the Phoenix...she finds a way to reincarnate herself constantly, so one never knows." However, the actress made it clear that she's currently "in no position to say anything" too definitive, finishing up by admitting that she actually has no idea (or so she says) and that fans should "Stay tuned."

THE WOLVERINE: New Set Photos With Hugh Jackman; Plus A Scene Description

The Wolverine is back in Australia after spending several weeks filming in Japan. Since September 26 they've been prepping and filming scenes at The Chinese Garden of Friendship, which is located in the heart of Sydney. At that location photographers were able to snap some images of Hugh Jackman (Logan) and his co-star Rila Fu-kushima, who is playing Yukio. They will continue to film at that location for another three days.

While I don't have details about those scenes, I do have details about an upcoming scene that will be filmed this Saturday in Parramatta, between Smith and George Street.

Shot Sequence Description - A couple being pursued on foot as they dodge through traffic in a Japanese city street. They are nearly hit by passing vehicles but manage to keep going. A man runs along roof tops of adjacent buildings above shooting their pursuers with a crossbow. Possible simulated crossbow shooting from a rooftop. - Source

Christopher Eccleston Confirms Filming In Iceland For THOR: THE DARK WORLD

Continuing tomorrow at London's Butlers Wharf, principal photography for Marvel's Thor: The Dark World is scheduled this month to “showcase London in a major way.” However, we've now received confirmation that filming will soon head north, overseas in Iceland, which was first reported back in early August. While attending The Times Cheltenham Literature Festival 2012, ‘Malekith the Accursed’ actor Christopher Eccleston discussed the villain role, confirming he'll take part in the scenes that'll be filmed in the Nordic European island country.

Korean American actor Will Yun Lee (Elektra & Hawaii Five-0) was finally spotted on the set of The Wolverine. He will be playing the main villain in the film, Kenuichio Harada, aka The Silver Samurai. A mutant that is dressed head-to-toe in silver armor. He has the ability to charge his swords with an electrical current, and they can slice through any substance... except for adamantium of course!

Besides our first look at the Silver Samurai, we also get to see Wolverine's claws for the first time as Hugh Jackman's stunt double is suspended from wires for this particular scene. I'm told the scene involves a group of ninjas attacking him, but once the claws come out they hightail it out of there.

Set Videos & Photos Of THE WOLVERINE Carrying ‘Mariko Yashida’ To Safety

Clark Gregg's ‘Agent Coulson’ Confirmed To Live Again On Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. TV Series

During today's Marvel Television panel at New York Comic-Con, which is still underway, the Head of Television for Marvel, Jeph Loeb, announced that Marvel's The Avengers late fan-favorite S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent, Phil Coulson, will live again! Backed by Clark Gregg himself, Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige and director Joss Whedon appeared in a video where they confirmed that Gregg will surely reprise the role in the planned S.H.I.E.L.D. series with ABC.

“We all love Clark Gregg, there's no doubt about that,” Whedon said. “From before we made 'The Avengers,' we discussed whether there was a way for him to be a part of the Marvel Universe, perhaps a part of a TV show even after his death. … The fact of the matter is, as much as we love him, now that I'm really running Marvel, I like to keep a type of artistic integrity, which means we don't stretch the bounds of reality.” Marvel producer Kevin Feige added that, “There was never going to be a 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' show without Agent Phil Coulson!” “He's headlining the S.H.I.E.L.D. show and always was.”said Whedon.

For the full panel's coverage, head over to Comic Book Resources. This news comes as a surprise, considering all of the outlandish fan-made possibilities that'd allow Coulson's revival, which Clark Gregg has modestly dismissed. Anyhow, Gregg is the S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot's first cast member, with details revealed earlier this month for five other characters that'll appear. And it's also unclear how exactly Agent Phil Coulson will be revived, whether it's as a life model decoy or if the series will be a prequel to the events of Marvel's The Avengers. But what do you think?

Last month, Joss Whedon said the series will be adjacent to the Marvel cinematic universe, but is structured so that it deals with agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. who are “the humans in a superhero world and how they deal with that and how it makes them vulnerable.” Whedon penned the pilot with his brother, Jed Whedon & his wife Maurissa Tancharoen. And the trio will also executive produce the pilot with Jeffrey Bell and Marvel TV’s Jeph Loeb.
